Camp supports kids after loss

Camp Lloyd, a day camp for children ages 7 to 13 grieving the loss of a loved one, returns to UW-Green Bay the week of June 23-27.

The camp provides summer-camp fun for kids who understand what their fellow campers are going through. They also spend time exploring their feelings by creating memory boxes, planting a memorial tree or releasing balloons (photo).

Prof. Illene Noppe of Human Development, a specialist in death and grief issues, started the camp last year. She named it for her husband, Prof. Lloyd Noppe, who at age 8, lost his father in a traffic accident, something that years later led both Noppes to reflect on childhood tragedy and coping. Human Development students help plan the camp and serve as counselors. Unity Hospice of Green Bay is a partner. For details, visit www.uwgb.edu/camplloyd.
